Description

[0002] In modern industrial production and various infrastructure construction, pipeline system as the key carrier of conveying various fluid media (such as petroleum, natural gas, hot water, steam and chemical raw materials etc.), is widely used in energy, chemical industry, construction, metallurgy and many other fields. With the continuous progress and development of industrial technology, the working conditions faced by pipeline system are increasingly complex and severe, such as high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion and high flow rate and so on.
[0003] In the process of pipeline system operation, due to the large fluctuation of temperature, the frequent change of medium pressure and the thermal expansion and contraction of pipeline itself, it is easy to cause the displacement, deformation and even rupture of pipeline. In order to effectively solve these problems, bellows compensator emerges as the times require. Although the traditional bellows compensator can absorb the displacement of pipeline to a certain extent and relieve the stress concentration of pipeline system, it has many limitations. On the one hand, the bellows is directly contacted with conveying medium, under the scouring of medium with high flow rate, corrosion or containing solid particle impurities, the inner wall of bellows is easily worn and corroded, thereby greatly shortening the service life of compensator and increasing the maintenance cost and safety hazard of pipeline system. For example, in chemical production, the pipeline conveying strong corrosive chemical raw materials may appear perforation leakage phenomenon in a short time. On the other hand, the traditional bellows compensator lacks effective protection measures in complex external environment, and is easily damaged by external mechanical impact and extrusion. Once the bellows is damaged, the function of the whole compensator will be seriously affected, and then the normal operation of the whole pipeline system is endangered. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0031] Referring to the drawings Figs. 1-6 A corrugated pipe compensator with a protection device, comprising a compensator body 1, the compensator body 1 comprises a corrugated pipe body 12 and a flange plate 11 arranged at both ends of the corrugated pipe body 12, two flow guide inner liner sleeves 2 are symmetrically arranged in the corrugated pipe body 12, the total length of the two flow guide inner liner sleeves 2 is equal to the shortest length of the compensator body 1, the two flow guide inner liner sleeves 2 are not fixedly connected, and a protective sleeve 3 is arranged on the outer side of the corrugated pipe body 12.
[0032] The total length of the two flow guide inner lining tubes 2 is equal to the shortest length of the compensator body 1. When the length of the compensator body 1 changes, because the two flow guide inner lining tubes 2 are not fixedly connected, they can flexibly adjust the relative position according to the expansion and contraction of the compensator body 1. For example, when the compensator body 1 is shortened, the two flow guide inner lining tubes 2 can move closer to each other, but because the total length is adapted, the internal flow guide grooves 25 can still continuously and accurately guide the medium flow. This effectively prevents problems such as flow turbulence and impact intensification of the medium due to the length change of the compensator body 1, and effectively ensures the stability of the medium conveying in the pipeline system, avoiding damage to downstream equipment due to abnormal medium flow. Even if the compensator body 1 is lengthened, the symmetrically arranged flow guide inner lining tubes 2 act as internal support structures in the compensator body 1, and the two flow guide inner lining tubes 2 will move to both sides synchronously although they are not fixedly connected. In this process, they provide uniform and continuous support force for the corrugated pipe body 12 by virtue of their rigid structure.
[0033] The flow guide inner lining tube 2 comprises a flow guide tube 21, and end covers 22 are arranged at both ends of the flow guide tube 21. A plurality of connecting holes one 23 are formed in the end covers 22, the connecting holes one 23 correspond to the holes in the flange plate 11, and the end covers 22 are arranged on the outer side of the flange plate 11. The flow guide tube 21 is provided with a bell mouth 24 at both ends, and a plurality of flow guide grooves 25 are formed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the flow guide tube 21 and arranged in the axial direction of the flow guide tube 21.
[0034] The protective sleeve 3 comprises symmetrically arranged adjustable bases one 31 and adjustable bases two 32, the adjustable bases one 31 and the adjustable bases two 32 are arranged on the inner side of the flange plate 11, and a protective corrugated pipe 33 is arranged between the adjustable bases one 31 and the adjustable bases two 32. The adjustable bases one 31 and the adjustable bases two 32 are the same in structure. The adjustable bases one 31 comprise a fixed disc one 311 and a threaded sleeve 314, a threaded column 312 is arranged at the center of the fixed disc one 311, the threaded sleeve 314 is installed on the threaded column 312 through threads, and a locking coil 317 is further arranged on the threaded column 312. A connecting hole two 313 corresponding to the holes in the flange plate 11 is formed in the fixed disc one 311, a fixed disc two 315 is fixedly installed on the end of the threaded sleeve 314 away from the fixed disc one 311, and connecting discs 34 are arranged at both ends of the protective corrugated pipe 33. Connecting holes three 316 are formed in the connecting discs 34 and the fixed disc two 315.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] When the pipeline system is running, when the fluid medium reaches the compensator body 1, because the flow guide inner lining tube 2 is at the front end position of the medium flow in the compensator body 1, and the end covers 22 at both ends are connected with the holes in the flange plate 11 through the connecting holes one 23, the medium will preferentially enter the flow guide inner lining tube 2, so that the channel for the fluid to enter is smooth and clear.
[0037] The guide groove 25 is arranged on the inner wall of the flow guide cylinder 21 in the axial direction. When the medium enters the flow guide cylinder 21, the guide groove 25 guides the flow direction of the medium. Since the axial direction of the guide groove 25 is consistent with the main flow direction of the medium in the pipeline, the medium cannot flow randomly during the flow process due to the constraint of the groove wall. For example, in some large heating pipelines, hot water is used as the medium, and the flow rate is large and the flow speed is fast. If the hot water directly impacts the inner wall of the corrugated pipe body 12, it will cause serious erosion and wear of the corrugated pipe. With the guide groove 25, the hot water can flow orderly along the guide groove, the impact force of the medium on the inner wall of the corrugated pipe is dispersed and guided, the local impact pressure is reduced, and the flow direction of the medium is more stable and orderly. Such orderly flow not only reduces the direct impact on the inner wall of the corrugated pipe body 12, but also effectively reduces the resistance of the pipeline system and improves the medium conveying efficiency.
[0038] The structure design of the adjustable base one 31 and the adjustable base two 32 provides convenience for adjusting the position and tension of the protective corrugated pipe 33. The threaded sleeve 314 is installed on the threaded column 312 by threads, and the operator can change its position on the threaded column 312 by rotating the threaded sleeve 314. When the threaded sleeve 314 moves away from the fixed disc one 311, the tension of the protective corrugated pipe 33 is increased; on the contrary, when the threaded sleeve 314 moves towards the fixed disc one 311, the tension of the protective corrugated pipe 33 is reduced. The state of the protective corrugated pipe 33 can be flexibly adjusted in this way. In addition, the locking coil 317 arranged on the threaded column 312 can fix the threaded sleeve 314 at the corresponding position after adjusting the position and tension, prevent it from moving due to pipeline vibration and other factors, and ensure that the protective corrugated pipe 33 is always in the best protection state.
[0039] The protective corrugated pipe 33 not only can adapt to the deformation of the corrugated pipe body 12, but also can provide external protection and support for the corrugated pipe body 12 through its structure and material properties. In some industrial environments, the pipeline may be subjected to collision or friction from external objects. The protective corrugated pipe 33 can serve as the first line of defense, withstand these external forces, and prevent the corrugated pipe body 12 from being directly damaged mechanically. Its material usually has certain wear resistance and impact resistance, which can effectively disperse and buffer the impact force from the outside, protecting the integrity of the corrugated pipe body 12. At the same time, the protective corrugated pipe 33 can provide certain support when the corrugated pipe body 12 deforms, helping the corrugated pipe body 12 maintain its structural stability and preventing the corrugated pipe body 12 from failing due to excessive deformation.
[0040] The end cover 22 of the flow guide inner liner cylinder 2 is uniformly distributed with a plurality of connection holes one 23, which accurately correspond to the holes on the flange disc 11 at both ends of the compensator body 1. During installation, the end cover 22 is tightly fixed outside the flange disc 11 by using bolts, nuts and other connecting parts.
[0041] A threaded column 312 is arranged at the center of the fixing disc 311 of the adjustable base 31, and a connecting hole 313 is also arranged on the fixing disc 311 and corresponds to the hole on the flange plate 11. During installation, the fixing disc 311 is first placed on the inner side of the flange plate 11, the connecting hole 313 is aligned with the hole on the flange plate 11, and then a connecting member (such as a bolt) is used to pass through the holes and is tightened, so as to fix the adjustable base 31 on the flange plate 11. This connecting manner enables the adjustable base 31 to be stably installed on the compensator body 1, and provides a basis for subsequent installation of the protective bellows 33 and adjustment of the position and tension of the protective bellows 33.
[0042] Connecting discs 34 are arranged at both ends of the protective bellows 33, and connecting holes 316 are arranged on the connecting discs 34 and the fixing disc 315. When the adjustable base 31 and the adjustable base 32 are installed on the flange plate 11 and the positions are adjusted, the connecting disc 34 at one end of the protective bellows 33 is aligned with the fixing disc 315, the connecting holes 316 are corresponded, and then the connecting member (such as a bolt) is used to fix them together. The same method is used to connect the other end of the protective bellows 33 and the fixing disc 315 of the other adjustable base. In this way, the protective sleeve 3 is stably connected with the compensator body 1 through the adjustable base 31, the adjustable base 32 and the compensator body 1.
[0043] The above-described embodiments only express certain implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application patent should be subject to the appended claims.
